I think it depends on whether you are using mozilla.org builds or
Debian packages for Mozilla and/or Firefox. The Debian pakages
currently require Xprint. I am using the mozilla.org builds with no
problems. The default margins may need to be reset or the header and
footer may not be visible.

I did install cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client, cupsys-driver-gimpprint/data,
etc. I ried foomatic, but never got any output so I gave up on it, but
that may be more a problem with my printer than foomatic. I have to
use a driver that generates PCL as it doesn't have enough memory to
process PostScript. :-(

Try the upstream Firefox with postscript output?
